According to research by Eurostat in the race to the most expensive electricity in the world, this week the UK is the winner.  The bottom line is that from 2008 the price of electricity in China fell from €100 down to €80 per megawatt hour. While in Australia it rose from €125 to €300 and in the UK prices rose from €150 to €360.  Effectively, the price of electricity fell 20% in China at the same time as it rose 240% in Australia and the UK.  the percentage of wind and solar power penetration on each national grid pretty much predicts the ..read more

Even if you believe that CO2 is causing a climate emergency there is absolutely no need to try and reach net zero. The fact is that atmospheric CO2 levels will start to fall even if we carry on emitting most of the CO2 we are currently emitting. The reason is due to something called the CO2 “sink rate”. It has been observed that the more CO2 there is in the atmosphere, the more quickly nature removes the excess. The NASA studies showing “global greening” in satellite imagery since the 1980s is evidence of that. According to Roy Spencer each year nature removes an average of 2% of the atmospher ..read more

Apparently this crazy woman, Naomi Oreskes, is a Professor! If you want a good laugh then read the post linked below to get one. She has been writing this alarmist nonsense for years, so a lot of her "predictions" have already been disproved. Obviously it's not worth spending any money buying these books she has turned out. One word comes to mind - pathetic!  Climate Change Killed Your Pets – Watts Up With That ..read more

Ancient Rome had periods which were hotter than today, there is little doubt about that, as this article shows:  In hot ancient Rome, it’s not the heat but the cold times that align with plagues « JoNova (joannenova.com.au ..read more

Setting targets way into the future is an easy thing to do, but as the time passes it eventually becomes clear that these targets are not achievable. The Scottish government is the first to reach this point: Scotland to ditch key climate change target - BBC News It won't be the last! There are some completely ridiculous targets which have been set by councils. Obviously they are not as high profile as governments, but they deserve to be shown up for making such barmy claims.  ..read more

Climate models are flawed and now even the experts are admitting as much. So why should the world's governments trust them?  Bet the world, but not my superannuation on our climate models says modeler Prof Andy Pitman « JoNova (joannenova.com.au ..read more

The "climate change emergency" requires a constant stream of scary headlines to try and keep the public believing and being ready to accept the increased costs and restrictions that will be introduced to attempt to meet net zero CO2 emissions.

I know there are some people out there who say there is no debate. Everything is  settled and we now simply have to stop emitting CO2. That is simply unscientific. Science works by looking at all the evidence, not just the bits which appear to support one particular argument. If any facts don't fit then a theory is wrong. On that basis the idea that CO2 controls the world's surface temperature is wrong, and yet there is no discussion in the main stream media about this.

This is quite a long interview with Adrian Hayes at 55 minutes but the main focus on his climate change views starts at 20 minutes in. His gradual realisation that the idea of CO2 controlling the world's temperature is far from certain is interesting and came after doing a detailed investigation. It is a journey that quite a lot of thinking people have made. What made this interesting for me was that I know Adrian's family, they were neighbours of mine.    (3) Adrian Hayes: Net Zero or Sustainability? | Tom Nelson Pod #203 - YouTube ..read more

 There is a new video out by Paul Burgess which explains the way in which greenhouse gases work in our atmosphere and why there is no need to fear the increase in CO2 or methane. Paul has a way of putting across the science in a clear and understandable way in just over 20 minutes. Here is the link; Exposing the CO2 Myth (youtube.com ..read more
